Vacuum Cleaner Belt Keeps Breaking or Coming Off? Causes and How to Fix It
If the drive belt on your vacuum cleaner keeps breaking, slipping off or becoming loose, simply fitting another new belt may not solve the problem.
Vacuum cleaner belts are designed to transfer power from the motor or drive mechanism to the rotating brush roll. Although belts naturally wear over time, repeated belt failure usually indicates another problem somewhere in the brush-roll assembly.
A jammed brush, worn bearings, incorrect belt or damaged pulley can all cause a new belt to fail much sooner than expected.
In this guide, we'll explain why vacuum cleaner belts break or come off and what you should check before fitting another replacement.
